It is a beautiful picture Jeannette. I can see why you "cropped" it, for the balance and to get the focus where you wanted it. Compared to the original photo I get a sort of "squeezed" feeling because of the grass in the painting leaning more than it does in the photo. It reminds me of what happens sometimes when using cropping tools on the computer and not being steady on the hand (a change of proportions). But I didn't think of that until I saw the original photo.

Greetings Jeannette! So nice to hear from you and thanks for the nice compliment on Cedar Key.

I've been scrolling down your blogs, and I think they are both excellent...your photos are artsy but not pretentious and your paintings are delightful filled with color and whimsy and love of life and the earth!

My mother was an artist, and a good one. She lived and painted for years in Turlock, California.

Oh WOW!! glad I stumbled upon THIS blog!! I love art; painting, drawing, sculpting....all of it!! I've been dying to try pastels. I bought a set just recently. Now I just need to find a class, or a book.Thanks for visiting my blog and for your cute comments about the flowers. You're Dutch?? WAY COOL!! I live in a town that is predominantly Dutch!! Tulips, windmills, little country farms...it's like a miniature Holland. :DHave a good day!!
